-Ratings Breakdown: CBS and NBC shared leadership on this first Sunday of the Nov. 2007 sweeps. CBS was the most-watched network; NBC was No. 1 among key adults 18-49. ABC finished an atypical third in both categories, followed by Fox and dead-as-a-doorknob the CW.

The football overrun on CBS clobbered the competition in the 7 p.m. half-hour, with a mammoth 32.72 million viewers and an 11.4 rating/29 share among adults 18-49. And because of the football overrun, all program results on CBS are approximate. With that in mind…

Beyond the football overrun, CBS was buoyed by the season premiere of "Amazing Race" (13.8 million, 4.2/9) that could be the best viewership of any "Race" season premiere and the best demo ratings since September 2005.
